I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

You never know when you have an emergency hanging-freshly-bathed-baby-sloths-out-to-dry situation.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
No one ever accidentally puts my personal email address in as their own, but strangely it happens quite frequently with my fannish address. I just got confirmation of "my" pledge in the Doral Pebble Beach Fun Run.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So today I gave the biggest talk of my career so far. Had to answer questions from the faculty for 2 hours or so. Felt like I was taking my orals all over again.
On the plus side: 1) it's now over and 2) I think it went well
Oh crap, what if I get the job?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Good luck, Burrell!
I am sitting in my office with the monitor feed for one show in the hall just outside the door, the monitor feed for the other across the office, and the com monitor for the 2nd show on my desk. Perfect time to read a script for a completely different show, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That seems like a lot of multi-tasking, aurelia...
Good luck, Burrell!

ION, we have a roofer! Got the quotes this morning, Anna & I texted, and both of us were like, let's just get this done. Guy impressed me with several detailed options for fixing my leak, and telling me if his rec didn't work, it'd be on them. So: we're getting our main roofs & front porches sealed and recoated, Anna's also doing her kitchen roof (mine is in better condition) and I'm getting my gutter hole enlarged and fully lined with pipe and then rubber (that sounds dirty.) Getting $125 discounts each for doing the whole roof, plus they're giving us extra discounts for going in together on main & porches (which are shared, so ends up one job, basically.)
Now to look into finding a contractor to do door frame and ruined ceiling and walls, since mine went awol this summer.
Also, owner of company was one who came to do estimate. Think short, fireplug Mr.Clean.Nothing quite like a 60ish guy telling you he just had both knees replaced last winter as he's awkwardly hefting himself from ladder over the deck railing. Today he apologized again for being creaky, but 'I just can't stay in the office. But I let the young 'uns to the real work.' Sorta endearing.
Baltimore marathon tomorrow. I have my tambourine.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
At OVFF, listening to the Pegasus nominees concert. Earlier there was a song called "Nathan Fillion(Please take off your pants)". It is nominated in the "Best Perky Song".

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
No one ever accidentally puts my personal email address in as their own, but strangely it happens quite frequently with my fannish address. I just got confirmation of "my" pledge in the Doral Pebble Beach Fun Run.
I periodically get confirmation of someone's kids' dentist appointments. In Missouri. And I would unsubscribe, or at least reply and say "Hey, I am not the right person here, so your patients are not getting these reminders," but the emails are sent from a Do Not Reply address, and I'm not going to actually call some pediatric dental practice in Missouri because some parent thinks my email is theirs.
I also get notices about appointment for car maintenance in some other state. How many people think my email address is theirs, and WHY?
